By Seun Adams

The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, in partnership with the AIG-Imoukhuede Foundation has organised a two-day Senior Leaders’ Programme for all Federal Permanent Secretaries and Permanent Secretaries-Designate, starting today, Saturday, April 15, 2023, in Abuja. The training Programme is being facilitated by Resource Persons from the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, London, the United Kingdom.

It is expected to provide the much-needed impetus to propel, as well as reposition the Federal Civil Service as an initiator and a major driver of policies, projects and programmes of the Federal Government.

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, CFR, being a woman of vision, is relentlessly providing the requisite leadership skills for the Service through faithful partnerships and collaborations with the World Bank, the United Kingdom for International Development (UK-DFID), under its Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn (PERL) Programme and the European Union via its Support for Federal Government Reforms Programme, amongst others.
